Something “Universal”

January 3, 2015 Crankygiraffe1 Comment

I was raised Roman Catholic.  I went to Catholic school for all of my schooling years.  My parents divorced when I was nine years old, before I was old enough to know that Divorce was wrong, according to the Catholic Church.  Even before that, however, we were never a family who regularly went to Church… Continue reading Something “Universal”

My Confession

May 6, 2014October 26, 2014 Crankygiraffe8 Comments

I have lived here for just under 7 years.  Before moving here, I lived in my home town for my whole life.  I was not nearly as torn up about moving here as I am to move away.  For the first 4 years that I lived here, I hated it and I couldn't wait to… Continue reading My Confession

No One Likes Change

March 18, 2014March 18, 2014 Crankygiraffe3 Comments

"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like." ~Laozi Why do we fear change?  Are we afraid of the unknown or are we afraid to leave behind what we know?  Maybe it's a… Continue reading No One Likes Change

Thank-You

I want to thank all of you, my blogging friends.  Sometimes I forget how wonderfully connected I am to this little place and it is times like this that remind me how important blogging is in my life.

Sleepless

March 7, 2014 Crankygiraffe7 Comments

I haven't been able to sleep the last few nights.  I have a hard time falling asleep and then after a few hours I wake up and can't get back to sleep. I ruminate. And ruminate. And I wish I could just turn off my brain and go back to sleep. I hope this chapter… Continue reading Sleepless

Blogger Friends Got Ideas!

Yesterday, after my Alter Ego, Cranky Giraffe, posted about my son’s crazy little love letter to his newest idol, Lady Gaga, an old old blogging friend tweeted it, with an idea that maybe he could meet her!  I know the likelihood of it being re-tweeted by anyone other than myself is pretty low… But who […]

It’s Been a Long Time…

“It’s been a long time since I came around Been a long time but I’m back in town And this time I’m not leaving without you” ~Stefani Germanotta (Lady Gaga) I know I haven’t been here blogging for quite a long time (almost a year and a half…), but there was something about blogging that […]

The Common Sense Problem

The airplane seat map shows that the emergency exit row seats are considered “less desirable.” It’s a little ironic since they come with extra leg room, even if they don’t recline (really, who needs to recline 2 inches when you have two extra feet of leg room?). I think the real reason they are less […]

Walking Tall

This month I’m traveling around the country to check out fellowship positions. It is exhausting, trying, lonely, and often confusing. Most of all, I miss my kids. I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how fellowship and moving to one of these places would fit into the current, ideal, little life of […]

Happiness, Please

Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that, but simply growth.  We are happy when we are growing. ~John Butler Yeats, 1909 Is there a difference between pleasure and happiness?
